Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes

Introduction

Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes deliver everything a great morning meal should offer—crispy edges, golden color, and a fluffy interior, all seasoned with savory spices and herbs. Perfectly suited for breakfast, brunch, or a hearty side dish, this recipe transforms simple potatoes into a bold, crowd-pleasing sensation.

Whether you’re hosting a weekend breakfast, meal prepping for the week, or elevating your weekday plate, these potatoes earn rave reviews for their addictive flavor and satisfying crunch.

What Makes These Breakfast Potatoes Bangin’?

Unlike standard home fries, Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes get their name from their extra-crispy texture and depth of flavor. The secret? A high-heat cooking method, bold seasoning blend, and just the right mix of potatoes and fresh vegetables for color and bite.

Adding bell peppers and onions not only boosts flavor but gives the dish irresistible pops of sweetness and texture. Best of all, you can adjust the seasoning to match your personal heat preference—making it a versatile template for the whole family.

How to Quickly Prep Your Veggies

Time is of the essence in the morning, which is why efficient prep can make or break your breakfast routine. For fast, uniform chopping of potatoes, onions, and peppers, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This tool helps ensure even cooking (no more undercooked bits!) and shaves minutes off your prep time, making your kitchen workflow efficient and frustration-free.

Cooking Methods: Oven, Skillet, or Air Fryer

For that signature crisp, you have several options. Classic stove-top skillet-frying produces excellent results using a quality nonstick pan like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch. If you love a hands-off approach, spread your potatoes on a baking sheet lined with the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy cleanup and even browning in the oven.

Alternatively, an air fryer such as the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt creates spectacularly crisp potatoes in record time, using much less oil than traditional methods. Choose your method based on your schedule and kitchen setup!

Serving and Storage Suggestions

Serve these potatoes piping hot topped with chopped scallions, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or a shake of hot sauce. Bangin’ Breakfast Potatoes pair exceptionally with eggs, avocado, or sizzling breakfast meats. Preparing in advance? Store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep them fresh and ready for busy weekday mornings.

Instructions

1. Prep your veggies: Dice potatoes, onion, and peppers for even cooking. For quick, consistent results, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper.
2. If using the skillet: Heat 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high. Add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, then flip and cook until golden and crisp, about 10–12 minutes total. Add onions and peppers, season, and sauté 5 more minutes until soft and aromatic.
3. If using the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss potatoes, peppers, and onion with oil and seasonings. Spread on a parchment-lined (Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll) baking sheet. Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning.
4. If using an air fryer: Preheat the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 400°F. Toss chopped veggies with seasonings and oil. Arrange in the fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
5. Check for doneness: Potatoes should be fork-tender inside and crispy outside. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
